The joint J.D./M.P.A.
degree program has been designed to promote integration between the fields of
law and public administration. Covering areas such as public management, policy
analysis, public finance and human resources management, it enables students to
earn both degrees in, at most, four years of full-time study, rather than the
usual five. The program is designed so that a maximum of six courses may be
applicable to both degrees. Recipients of joint J.D./M.P.A. degrees hold
professional credentials for a broad range of careers in government, consulting,
teaching, research and law.
